borgmatic is simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and
workstations. Protect your files with client-side encryption. Backup your
databases too. Monitor it all with integrated third-party services.
The canonical home of borgmatic is at <a href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic">https://torsion.org/borgmatic/</a>
Here's an example configuration file:
```yaml
# List of source directories to backup.
source_directories:
- /home
- /etc
# Paths of local or remote repositories to backup to.
repositories:
- path: ssh://k8pDxu32@k8pDxu32.repo.borgbase.com/./repo
label: borgbase
- path: /var/lib/backups/local.borg
label: local
# Retention policy for how many backups to keep.
keep_daily: 7
keep_weekly: 4
keep_monthly: 6
# List of checks to run to validate your backups.
checks:
- name: repository
- name: archives
frequency: 2 weeks
# Custom preparation scripts to run.
commands:
- before: action
when: [create]
run: [prepare-for-backup.sh]
# Databases to dump and include in backups.
postgresql_databases:
- name: users
# Third-party services to notify you if backups aren't happening.
healthchecks:
ping_url: https://hc-ping.com/be067061-cf96-4412-8eae-62b0c50d6a8c
```
borgmatic is powered by [Borg Backup](https://www.borgbackup.org/).

## Hosting providers
Need somewhere to store your encrypted off-site backups? The following hosting
providers include specific support for Borg/borgmatic—and fund borgmatic
development and hosting when you use these referral links to sign up:
<ul>
<li class="referral"><a href="https://www.borgbase.com/?utm_source=borgmatic">BorgBase</a>: Borg hosting service with support for monitoring, 2FA, and append-only repos</li>
<li class="referral"><a href="https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=v9dOJ98Ic9I8">Hetzner</a>: A "storage box" that includes support for Borg</li>
</ul>
Additionally, rsync.net has a compatible storage offering, but does not fund
borgmatic development or hosting.
